The challenge

Blood banks in Cali often lack the capacity to meet demand for plasma and blood components. This problem is compounded by a shortage of regular blood donors.

The goal

To improve the quantity, safety and availability of blood components.

How

By organising a voluntary blood donation programme.

Outputs

As well as raising awareness about the need for blood donors, the most important achievement of this project was the creation of a working group between the city’s blood banks. This has allowed us to collaborate more effectively to meet Cali’s needs.
